Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Registered Nurse

Bring Your Passion.

The Carolina Outreach team is looking for a compassionate, dedicated, and skilled Psychiatric Nurse (RN) to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team. In this pivotal role, you’ll play a hands-on part in transforming lives by delivering critical, community-based mental health services to individuals with complex needs.

As an ACT Nurse, you’ll be at the heart of service delivery—partnering closely with clients, families, and an interdisciplinary team to ensure that every individual receives the care and support they need. You’ll oversee the medical and clinical components of treatment, blending your clinical expertise with a deep commitment to person-centered care.

Each day, you’ll bring your clinical skills to life by managing medication monitoring, delivering psychopharmacologic care within your scope, and coordinating services that help clients thrive in their communities. You’ll respond to crises, support transitions into and out of care, and collaborate on individualized treatment plans. With your help, clients won’t just navigate the system—they’ll make meaningful progress toward stability and recovery.
